You've never understood the whole 'enemies to lovers' trope that you constantly see on social media.

Mostly because, well, there was someone you hated. The infamous Lieutenant Simon 'Ghost' Riley, the man who made your life a living hell since you joined. You were assigned as his training partner two months ago when you joined, and he has never been happy about it.

You, a freshly inducted member, lacked experience and expertise. Yet, you were paired with him, a seasoned soldier known for his high standards. He was one of the most experienced in the unit, the complete opposite of your novice status.

Strangely, he never even entertained the notion of giving you an opportunity to prove your worth, as if he'd already written you off. And that is exactly why you never understood the enemies to lovers trope; because you couldn't see past the hatred for him.

Now, after being sent on a mission with one another, you're informed that the both of you need to stay in a safehouse for the night to ensure your safety from threats. Opening the front door to a wooden cabin, you stomp the snow off your boots and look around. Great. Just.. great.
